Interview with Bronnie About MDA
-Laurel-
I had the lovely oppurtunity to have a little interveiw with the woman second in command behind one of the most well known doll contest-site things, Miss Doll America (mda)!!!!

Bronnie: Well, it was already pretty huge when i joined. That was the reason I had to. Kristi needed help with it. I didn't really think I'd still be doing it now, though.

Laurel: Do you remember exactly when you joined, or what state it was on?

Bronnie: I joined sometime in spring of 2002. California had been voting for a few months, when I joined things got going and we started up with Colorado.

Laurel: Which state is has been the most popular?

Bronnie: North Carolina, I think.

Laurel: Whats your opinion on all the other Miss blankity blanks for dolls that have recently come out?

Bronnie: Well, I think they're great most of the time. They give me more chance to enter pageants so that I don't have to enter MDA and be accused of stealing. I do wish more of them would credit Kristi for the original idea.

Laurel: Do people credit you alot?

Bronnie: Some do, some don't. Some people link us, some people only mention our name, others don't mention us at all.

Laurel: How often do you have to disqualify entries? And what is the usual reason?

Bronnie: It varies, but usually once or twice a month I have to disqualify someone for sending in the wrong file format or using drag and drop parts. I have had to disqualify someone for mass voting, but I only do that if i'm absolutely positive.

Laurel: Sounds complicated, how time consuming is MDA?

Bronnie: Not very, except on mondays when I update the polls, and when I get bogged down and make the awards. I've actually JUST made a template for the state queens so the awards should take less time now that i've done that.

Laurel: Do you have anything else you'de like people to know about MDA?

Bronnie:
Just that writing a bio is not as difficult as it seems. A lot of people don't enter because the bio scares them, but I always tell my friends to pretend they're making up a story like they used to do in kindergarten. Usually helps :-)
